1. The Basics of Stats for Frost Death Knight

The stat priority for a Frost Death Knight is not heavily weighted towards
certain stats. In fact what you will notice when simming your character is that
your stat weights will be very close together. Because of this, item level is
generally considered as the most important decider in a piece of gear. It is
still recommended that you sim an item to determine if it is an upgrade or not.
However, here is the stat priority you will normally find when simming your
character:

Mastery;

Critical Strike;

Versatility;

Haste.

Usually a higher item level piece of gear will be a bigger upgrade than a
lower item level piece of gear even with better stats. We highly recommend you
sim your character to find the stat weights that work best for you.
